Singsing's vids playing LoL were fun. He's the one with the chipmunk knight and the doggy in the intro, right?

How to go pro starting from 0?

1. Practice every champion and mechanic that you're interested in in the practice tool (it's 1v0 mode, kinda like sv_cheats 1)

2. Learn core game concepts from Unsw Lolsoc YT channel https://www.youtube.com/user/unswlolsoc, it's the bible of learning league and for certain will set you on path to hit diamond/masters/challenger.

3. Make friends with LoL pros, semi-pros and high elo players. You need to know people who can lift you upwards, it's insanely important both for rapidly improving at the game as well as to look out for your future pro prospects.

4. Do 1v1 laning practice against pros and high elo players. This'll help bring over one of the key strengths you'd have as a 8k elo dota player - laning prowess. It's a much more rapid way to improve - shorter games means you can get more practice in, and your personal shortcomings will be far more obvious.

5. Long-term, your goal will be to reach a point where you operate your own actions effortlessly, and can have full focus on reading the gamestate and your opponents' next steps. (just like in chess, or dota)

Hitting a point where you consistently win 1v1 practice games with even or mirrored matchups against high elo/pro players would be a pretty big milestone to start with.

Best of luck, if you read the post and this sounds doable, then you have my full vote of confidence. Welcome to the community, and enjoy your journey. ^^

Just recreate Pangolier in League as bait and you might catch yourself a wild singsing
